She is 19 and is so scared of almost everything. To me it feels like the house is a very safe place for her. I am truly worried.

I can see the relationship between ASD and selective mutism. A person with ASD struggles with the unpredictable nature of people. It tends to be very stressful. Remaining quiet helps keep a social interaction under more control. It provides a sense of safety and predictability. Other things such as trauma, e.g., bullying, and phobias can also contribute.
